Maintenance.

If Device Driver Rollback does not resolve the problem, then use System Restore (see
page 61) to return your computer to the operating state that existed before you installed the
new driver.
Using the Dell Dimension ResourceCD
If using Device Driver Rollback or System Restore (see page 61) does not resolve the
problem, then reinstall the driver from the Dell Dimension ResourceCD:
With the Windows desktop displayed, insert the ResourceCD into the CD or DVD
1
drive.
If this is your first time to use the ResourceCD, go to step 2. If not, go to step 5.
When the ResourceCD installation program starts, follow the prompts on the screen.

When the InstallShield Wizard Complete window appears, remove the ResourceCD
